Chapter 0168: Runaway Soldier
"Actually, it's nothing, just come and deliver something to you. ”
Emperor E waved his hand and said, and then nodded to Wuqin behind him.
And just when Tianchi was puzzled, he saw Wuqin suddenly take out a roll of animal skins from his bag and put it on the table.
"This is ......"
Tianchi looked at the animal skin scroll on the table and asked puzzled.
"Actually, I don't really understand what the use of this thing is, that is, when I was given the seal here, one of the earliest ministers of the southern kingdom gave it to me, saying that it was something related to the fate of the southern kingdom. ”
Emperor E looked at the animal skin scroll on the table, and then said to Tianchi with a little blankness.
"Oh, there's such a thing, so why did you pass it on to me?"
Tianchi also looked at the roll of animal skin with a little surprise and asked.
"Because I don't know what this thing represents, I want to give it to you and see if you can see something. ”
Empress E also said helplessly.
Hearing Emperor E say this, Tianchi didn't say anything more, but directly unfolded the animal skin roll, but found that there was not even a word on it, and immediately looked at Emperor E with a strange face.
"That's what happened when I got it. ”
Emperor E also said with an innocent face.
"Is that what you did when you got it? Could it be that the minister is lying to you, and that a random scroll of animal skin is a vital thing?"
Tianchi still looked at Emperor E with a strange face and asked.
"It's impossible, that minister was the old minister in charge of assisting King Nan in the first place, and it is said that he was also entrusted by someone, I don't think it's like a lie. ”
Emperor E shook his head, then explained.
"Oh, in that case, I'll keep it and I'll come back to you when the secret is solved. ”
Tianchi nodded and said, and as he spoke, he put the scroll of animal skin into the insect buckle ring.
"Well, there's nothing going on here, then I'll go back first, and you can rest early. ”
Emperor E stood up as he spoke, and then went back to his dormitory with Wu Qin.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the next two or three days, Tianchi never left the palace, and when he was fine, he occasionally went to talk to Emperor E to pass the time.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Wuqing rushed to the southern capital with five hundred Thousand Water Sect disciples.
"One hundred disciples of the five peaks, one hundred each, are waiting for the orders of the young sect master. ”
In the school field, Wuqing led all the disciples to Tianchi and said respectfully.
"Well, I know, let everyone rest for a while, and we'll go to the Dongxia border together early tomorrow morning. ”
Tianchi nodded, and then commanded casually.
"Yes, young sect master, oh yes, there is one more thing, my old lady said......"
Wuqing nodded, then looked at Tianchi with a little hesitation and said.
"Say what?"
Tianchi's back tightened, and then asked with a strange face.
"My wife didn't say anything, she just said a word, and let you look at it, as if you were very angry. ”
Wuqing also said Ji Ying's original words with a blank face.
"Ahem, I know, you go to His Majesty Emperor E, she should preside over the government in the main hall now. ”
When Tianchi heard this, he naturally smiled bitterly, and then commanded.
"Okay, oh also, there are no two elders in the sect, and now they have also gone to the border land, saying that they will explore it first, and then meet after the young sect master goes. ”
Wuqing seemed to have thought of something, and was about to leave, but suddenly came back to his senses and continued.
"Well, that's fine, after all, this time the other party has already blatantly led the monks to participate in it, and there will be strong people from other sects to join. ”
Tianchi nodded, and then replied casually.
After Wuqing finished reporting the matter, he left directly, and Tianchi didn't say anything more, just explained a few words, and then a minister behind him went to rest with five hundred disciples.
In this way, until the morning of the second day, Tianchi said goodbye to Emperor E, and then took five hundred disciples to the border of Eastern Xia.
Originally, Emperor E wanted Tianchi to bring elite protectors, but Tianchi refused, on the grounds that this battle was no longer suitable for secular people to participate in it.
After leaving the southern capital, a group of 500 disciples marched towards the Dongxia border, day and night, and finally arrived in the northern capital on the Dongxia border at noon on the third day.
If you want to talk about it, this northern capital is already the second line of defense at the junction of the southern country and the Eastern Xia, and the first line has been broken through by the Eastern Xia soldiers, and it has long existed in name only.
The reason why he did not take more than a dozen cities in the south in one fell swoop like the Western Xia a few years ago is that in the past few years, the south has developed quite rich and strong, coupled with the increasing improvement of the fortifications, which has led to the other party not being able to break into the south so easily.
"Senior Brother Wuchang, you send someone to find the two elders, and make plans after discussion. ”
Tianchi called his disciple Wuchang and said.
The last time he fought Xixia, most of the disciples led by Tianchi were disciples of the Cangzi generation of the inner gate, and all of them who came this time were disciples of the Wuzi generation, all of them had the strength of the Ethereal Realm, and the number was ten times that of the last time, so for the upcoming vicious fight, Tianchi was not particularly worried.
"Yes, Young Sect Master. ”
Wuchang took the order, and then turned around and arranged.
After waiting for about an hour, the two elders were brought to Tianchi by a disciple.
Because it is outside the city, there are not so many rules, and after seeing Tianchi, the two elders also sit on the ground very casually.
"What do you two elders hear?"
Tianchi looked at the two elders in front of him and asked.
"In the past two days, the two of us have also been to see the places where there is a lot of fighting, and we have also captured a few soldiers, originally wanting to ask something, but these soldiers seem to have lost their minds, like wild beasts, and can no longer answer questions. ”
Lonely Sky Changzun stroked his beard, and then said with a serious face.
"Yes, not only that, but after we have confirmed, these people have indeed drunk the blood of the beast, and their vitality is also being consumed at an extremely fast rate, although they will not die for a short time, but their lives are short. ”
Lonely Changzun also frowned slightly at this time and sighed.
"I already know all of this, how do the two elders feel the strength of these soldiers?"
Tianchi also frowned and said, and after speaking, he asked the question he had been caring about.
"The strength is only equivalent to the strength of the fifth or sixth stage of condensation, but the tricky thing is that these people are not afraid of death, they don't know what the pain is, and it is quite difficult to fight......
Lonely Changzun also said with a bitter face.
"It doesn't matter, no matter how powerful it is, if you are hit hard and lose your mobility, you won't be able to move. ”
Tianchi didn't look very worried.
"That's wrong, that's what we thought in the first place, but these people have long lost their minds, and I once met a soldier whose legs were bound by me, and when he couldn't move, he tore off his arm and threw at me. ”
Lonely Wu Changzun frowned and shook his head.
"How can such a thing happen?"
The words of the two elders made everyone feel moved.
I had indeed heard that the soldiers of the other side were not afraid of death or pain, but I didn't expect to be able to do it to this extent.
"Heh, it seems that this Dongxia is almost over. ”
Tianchi also sighed, and then muttered to himself.
Speaking of which, today's Tianchi can't help but feel a little reluctant to fight, after all, this time is not like last time, if it is an ordinary soldier, because it is a conscious violation of the southern border. But now it's different, these people are not fighting out of their intentions.
And when these soldiers are serious, they are even a little pitiful.
"What is the young sect master thinking?"
As if he had seen Tianchi's thoughts, the lonely Changzun on the side couldn't help but ask casually.
"Whew...... It's nothing, I just feel like I'm a little overwhelmed by these people. ”
Tianchi smiled bitterly, and then sighed.
"Young Sect Master, you don't have to think about it, these people are no longer worldly people, even if they live, they are suffering in vain, but they don't know how to express it anymore, if they can die immediately, it must be a relief. ”
Seeing that Tianchi was hesitant, the Silent Sky Changzun stepped forward and said.
"Alas......"
Tianchi still sighed, but did not answer.
"The young sect master is benevolent, but it really doesn't have to be like this, just imagine, if I am unfortunate enough to become like that, I would rather just die quickly, where will I still be nostalgic for this world. ”
Lonely Elder Venerable also stood up and said.
And after Tianchi heard the words of Lonely Changzun, he was also relieved, indeed, if he became like that, he would definitely not want to continue to live.
"What the two elders said makes sense, in this case, we will go to the place of battle tomorrow, and the first task is to clear out the out-of-control soldiers wandering in the border land!"
After thinking about it for a while, Tianchi finally turned to face the two Zhengsedao.
In this way, another whole night passed, and the next morning, everyone set off to the first border, during which they encountered the Dongxia soldiers who had lost control, and they were also killed one by one.
When he came to the enemy camp, Tianchi couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that the entire city had turned into a ruin, and corpses could be seen everywhere lying on the side of the road without anyone to take care of them.
Among them, there were Eastern Xia soldiers and ordinary people.
"Young Sect Master, do you think we need to kill the enemy now?"
Lonely Changzun also sighed unbearably, and then asked at Tianchi.
"Don't be reckless, we don't know how many monks there are in the opposing camp, if there are only soldiers, it is not to be afraid, after all, the blood of a desolate beast is limited, and it is already the limit to be able to distribute it to a few thousand people, I am not worried about them, what I care about is those monks sent out after the two sects join forces." ”
Tianchi looked at the miserable scene in front of him, and then frowned and said to Silence.
After saying that, he walked towards the camp of the remaining soldiers in the city......
